Move over, Oliver Stone, there’s a new filmmaker in town and he’s quite possibly the most awesome quadruped to ever have a camera strapped to his back! It’s a red-eared slider turtle wearing a GoPro Hero HD Camera. The end result, a short little video of a turtle dodging a dog, diving into a pool, and swimming around is just… yeah, it’s awesome. Turtles are much cooler than anyone ever gave them credit for being, and it doesn’t even matter if it’s a teenaged mutant ninja or just a regular-type shell-dweller!
I love these animal-eye view videos. It’s so neat to see the world from another angle, the sort of which we’d never possibly get because we can’t stay underwater for hours or toddle around two inches above the ground like this little guy can. Now if they could just somehow teach the turtle to surf on a tiny turtle-sized board, and THEN strap the camera to him, then you’d be onto something!
